Tubs Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Now i've had my clulite shooting lamp for over ten years and up rated the battery and put on a red filter its done me great for rabbits over the years but now its not turning on very well when i click on the switch it has a delay turning on and sometimes i have to double the switch or pull on the wire between the lamp and battery and then it works.Was looking around for other lights after i was amazed how good my friends led torch/lamp was i think it was a nightmaster something ,the only downside i could see was the beam was very narrow and never scanned the field so well and thought you could miss seeing alot of rabbits due to the beam being so tight,but it was so nice and clear when you got one in your sights it was like HD i also liked the fact that it never gave off or very little light around the shooter. Is there anything that will let you shoot rabbits out to say 150yards and also easily scan and spot the closer stuff for airguns without lighting half the fields up.

Akeld Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Have you considered rewiring the clulite? I use a T67 on my rifle but also a LF170 for scanning, most of my lamping is done from a quad or vehicle though so I don't worry too much about carrying kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggy Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 I believe that Cluson will repair any torch that they have ever made. I have read somewhere that their customer service is second to none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubs Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Sorry i forgot to say all my lamping is done on foot i also have a LF140 but its only for foxing as it dont fit on my scope and its the hand held type ,most of my lamping is a one man job.Not so good with electrics im sad to say.

simonl Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 T67 can zoom in/out. Not sure to what extent though. About to order one & will find out. You can have a look, depending which part of Cwll you're in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 If you want a --serious-- torch that has more light output than a LF170, here's the thing: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/MAXTOCH-Sniper-M24-with-Holster-Lighter-Version-of-SN6X-2S-AR-Lens-Copper-LED-Base-Longer/1794926363.html?spm=2114.031010208.3.2.SUbsv9&ws_ab_test=201556_8,201527_4_71_72_73_74_75,201560_4 It's small enough to mount on a rifle (65mm head diam, ~250 long) and has all the power you'll ever need. The mid power setting has more grunt than a LF170 and the pair of 18650s will do nearly two hours at mid power. There is enough peripheral flood to quickly scan a field yet the centre spot has serious reach. Deer at 300yds stand out like dogs kahoonas. They were developed by a close collaboration between some Kiwi pro pest guys and the Chinese manufacturer. Anyone that sees them in action knows that "cords are dead". My LF 170/140/SLAs are all now redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeld Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Chris, thats more or less the same as the T67 I use, agree with all your points. You could buy two, one mounted on the scope with narrow beam fro shooting and another on wider beam for spotting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris-NZ Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yep, I have one, the orig M24 which was dedomed by a local guy. The latest ones with the ?XM3 LED come dedomed. They have become the preferred option amongst hunters here. Once seen, you've gotta have one like my hunting buddy did. Another shooter contact brought his LED Lenser up to my place and we compared these side by side on the neighbour's paddocks. The Maxtoch walked all over the Lenser despite being 1/3 of the price. I have no idea if you can get coloured filters for them- might have to adapt something. We don't bother - just use them as they are. I use it on low power i I'm out chasing small stuff, high power on deer most of the time. If I can get hold of my farmer patient who owns the place I shoot reds, it might get some use Thur night but only if nothing appears on dusk.

Chris-NZ Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 If you're interested in getting a good indication of the grunt of those M24s, check the photos halfway down this page: http://budgetlightforum.com/node/41772?page=7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubs Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Thank you all for the replies and thanks Simon I'm based in the liskeard area,sounds like the led lights are getting very popular now I've seen various types on ebay but a lot of the lights look like torches or am I looking at the wrong type.
